Clearing House for 
Accessible Rental Housing

The program is made possible through a
grant from the RI Statewide Independent Living Council

Welcome to OSCIL’s Clearing House for Accessible Rental Housing.

What does the housing registry do?
It makes possible the review of accessible rental property that is available in Rhode Island.  Persons having disability who are seeking accessible housing are encouraged to review site listings.  

Landlords who have accessible rental property can list available units on the web-site (free of charge) in order to connect with persons having disabilities who are looking for accessible rentals.  Persons with disabilities who are searching for accessible housing will now have an easy way to locate properties.  

What if assistance is needed?
Individuals with disabilities who wish to have a “real voice” interaction can call the OSCIL office at 401-738-1013 and speak with a staff person who can assist with this web-site search.  OSCIL staff will be available to review listings. Since this system is set up to have multiple points of entry, service providers are free to utilize this site to assist their consumers/clients with their housing search.

OSCIL's Housing Assistance Program
The Ocean State Center for Independent Living (OSCIL) serves Rhode Islanders with disabilities. As a Center whose mission is to address barriers to independence, we provide extensive advocacy and outreach into the community to assist people with disabilities to locate the residence of their choice, i.e., apartment, assisted living facility, or accessible home.

OSCIL's housing program also assists individuals to overcome personal barriers to independence, including information, assessment, and acquisition assistance for assistive devices to increase independence in the home. In addition, OSCIL manages a home modification program (construction of ramps, accessible bathrooms, etc,) to facilitate self reliance in the home.

We welcome the opportunity to meet with Realtors to provide further information on this innovative program. Please feel free to contact Hal Fayerweather, OSCIL's Housing Advocate, at 738-1013.
